What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

Scored a set of 3" nfabs on cl from a fellow tw member. This happened yesterday but oh well.

It's a little more than some other places but my free shipping with Amazon offset that which is why I went with them.

 

Thanks bro

 

It wasn't bad. Remove the sway bar bolt, remove the axle nut, remove the tire rod nut. I used a rubber mallet to loosen the axle from the bearings. Remove the two bolts under the control arm. Gently pry the axle out from the diff. I used the mallet to seat the new axle into the diff and reassembled everything. Took about 1 1/2 hours.

 

I did have to reach into my bucket of cuss words a few times. But now that I've done it once, I could probably do another one in 45min.

The flange mainly. Now I've got a slight tick under load. I bought a new gasket but decided not to use it since the truck has 35K miles. Ive unloosen the flange bolts and retightend. Will recheck later.

 

I can't wait to get mine color matched! It looks so much better.

 

Did you by chance replace the seals while you had everything apart? Mine doesnt leak but was just wondering.

 

No, I bought a whole axle on Rock auto for $60. I'll rebuild the old one later and have a spare

 

Got my homer taco grill installed. Bad azz

 

How do you like the tailgate skin and cap?

 

new kicks! 5 Falkon Wildpeak t3w 265/75/16

The spare had deeeeep grooves. I need to put something in between the frame and these gorgeous tires to keep that from happening again.

 

Mine was the same way, but my factory spare was cranked way tight. I bet if you only made it snug you'd be good.

 

I still might put some pool noodle or some old rubber inbetween.

 

Damn. I kinda want to check mine....
